The texturing of aluminum in Al/Ti bilayers on (111) Si with and without a low-temperature oxide layer is studied by electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction at different boron and phosphorus concentrations in silicon. The Al layers grown on B-doped Si are shown to have extremely smooth surfaces. The mechanism of oriented Al growth is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
